Mr. Burns of 'Simpsons' fame backs Romney

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- U.S. Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has at least two votes from Springfield, the cartoon town where "The Simpsons" live.

A video posted Thursday on YouTube revealed that Montgomery Burns -- the skinflint owner of the nuclear power plant where Homer Simpson works and goofs off -- is voting for Romney, The Hill reported. The clip showed Burns at the Republican Party headquarters in Springfield, with a sign that say "We win in 2012 or your money back."

Homer Simpson himself was shown voting for Romney a few weeks ago. Most members of the Simpson family are too young to vote even though they have been on television for 25 years.
